Service in detail

Border customs clearance

We have customs offices at all border crossings used for transporting goods. During opening hours, we clear goods for import and export at the border – efficient, cost-effective and with the highest quality service.

Domicile customs clearance

Domicile customs clearance is carried out at our logistics centers or at an approved location. As customs clearance does not take place at the border, we avoid waiting times and can also clear goods outside opening hours.

Additional services
  • Customs clearance at domestic terminals (authorized consignee/authorised consignor) for particularly fast processing
  • Creation and deletion of T1 documents
  • Preparation of T2 documents for Union goods in transit through the EU
  • Outward and inward processing arrangements
  • Temporary import and export clearance
